Would you like to live in the smallest castle in England?
The proposal is, to say the least, striking. Who can imagine living in a castle? It is a luxury that very few people can afford, and the truth is that even the wealthiest are not sure that it is a good idea and prefer to go to a mansion near the city.
The fact is that this year the smallest castle in England was put up for sale. For how much? By 550,000 poundswhich is more than 600,000 euros. It’s not much considering how much a flat costs in those parts, so I imagine it sold pretty quickly. Interested parties had until April 19 to bid on it and at this time it is no longer listed as for sale by the real estate agent who managed the property.
Not all castles are as big as Disney’s
When they talk to you about a castle, you imagine something big, very big. No king liked to live in a small one, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t exist. In fact, the smallest one in England, which by the way is called Molly’s Lodge and is considered second grade, only has one bedroom. Luckily there is one guest House right next door, so visitors have somewhere to sleep.
It is in a privileged environment
It is located very close to the town Long Comptonin Warwickshire. The caretaker of the Weston Park Estate lived there and an architect called Edward Blore was responsible for its construction, who in 1830 had everything ready. This is the same one who was in charge of the expansion of Buckingham Palace for Queen Victoria, so he was not just any architect.
Small, yes, but very well used
In addition to the bedroom that I mentioned below, it has two halls, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room with a beautiful Victorian fireplace and a dining room. Nor does it lack one spiral staircase that connects its two floors, while the predominant decorative style is mainly rustic. Of course, when it changes hands, if it has changed hands, we do not know if it will have become the most modern castle in the world in terms of decoration.
